teaching IT

mick kk

Hi - does anyone here teach IT and what course could you do that would qualify/enable you to teach it?..I am a teacher and am not concerned about the TC approval...just a course that would give some basis in it
TIA

The JEB Diploma in ICT is what you're after

hi again. Has anyone on here done this course and would you recommend it? I have been looking at doing it in kilkenny but can't seem to find anywhere that offers it.

Do you need to get a qualification for it or is it that you just want to do something because you've found yourself teaching it and are a little out of your depth? I've taught IT in every school I've worked in (just a couple of classes a week for the most part) without any qualification just because I have enough experience with computers to do so.
Currenlty, I imagine very few schools will worry too much about your IT qualifications unless they want you to teach IT as your primary subject or to manage their computer systems in general as well as teach.

I am not teaching it this year. I am just interested in doing a course in the evenings for the cv and something that might lead to some evening work/summer work elsewhere.

Fair enough. There are probably lots of part-time courses out there that will help you there. Best of luck with it.
